NOVEMBER STATIC

[Verse 1]
The Torch Tower glass just reflects back the last light
Cold AC hittin' my skin from the Land Cruiser door, right
We crawl through the traffic on Lusail Boulevard, every car got a flag on the glass
They talkin' a game on the satellite feed that was never meant to last
The whole world got an opinion, a hot take for the camera crew
But they ain't walk these streets, they don't see the maroon and white view
The air taste like promise, a little bit of perfume and exhaust
We paid every cost, and they still wanna tally the loss.

[Chorus]
Let 'em talk to the static spillin' out from the screen
We draped the whole skyline in Al Annabi, you see what I mean?
This final hour's for us, from the sand to the highest suite
They can keep all their columns, we keepin' the concrete.

[Verse 2]
It's protective, this anger, the way that you guard your own name
They pointin' the finger, forgettin' they built their whole house on the same damn frame
My cousin from London just texted me, quote, "Brother, don't ever let 'em."
They wanna see failure, it's venom, we hear it and dead 'em.
From the dust of the Souq to the steel that we raised in the sky
It's a statement written in labour they never will try
To understand fully, they pull it apart for the clicks
While the kids in the back of the Nissan are learnin' the tricks.

[Chorus]
Let 'em talk to the static spillin' out from the screen
We draped the whole skyline in Al Annabi, you see what I mean?
This final hour's for us, from the sand to the highest suite
They can keep all their columns, we keepin' the concrete.

[Bridge]
(BEAT SWITCH)
Nah, forget all the patience, forget all the turnin' the cheek
This is for every doubt that they manufactured last week
This is the sound of the future they tried to erase from the map
Put the whole city's soul on my back, this is more than just rap.

[Outro]
The whistle's about to blow.
Yeah. Let 'em watch the show.
